PRODUCTS FOR OILY SKIN

Everyone’s skin produces oil, sometimes some people's skin over produces and in turn gives them an oily skin type.

You know you have oily skin when you feel like you have a constant shin on your t-zone. Your t-zone spans from your forehead down your nose and sometime over to the cheeks and chin.

A lot of people feel like no matter how much they wash and exfoliate their skin within a few hours their skin feels greasy again. Many with oily skin are prone to breakouts if they do not exfoliate regularly. When the oil mixes with dead skin in your pores that creates spots, which is why it is most important to exfoliate if you have oily skin. 

What causes Oily Skin

There could be a few underlying reasons for why you have oily skin, but the main one is usually your genetics. Most likely one of your parents has oily skin which is why you would as well.

Another cause could be the weather. Summer time usually makes oily skin worse, being hot and humid can cause the oil glands to work more and stretch your pores.

Winter time is usually very dry which can unfortunately also cause your oil glands to over work themselves. 

Tips to help reduce oily skin 

Don’t skip your moisturizer. Your skin still needs moisture even if you are oily. If you deprive your skin of the moisture it needs your oil glands are going to work harder thinking they need to produce more oil because there is no moisturizer. You just need to find one that balances your skin instead of making it feel greasier. 

Do not over exfoliate, 2 -3 times a week is enough. Find the right products that balance your skin and be consistent with using them. 

Use water based or natural mineral makeup that do not clog your pores. 

Drink lots of water, eat a healthy well rounded diet and reduce as much everyday stress as possible. 

Avoid touching your face, the oils from your fingers will only add to the oil on your face.
